LONDON. Aug. 25.-An enormous
crowd congregated in the palace yard
this afternoon to await the arrival at
the house OF commons of Mr.. Gladstone,
and when the Liberal leader fnf lily
came he received an ovation fit for
king. Nor did the enthusiastic greeting
of the grand old man stop here. His
entrance into the house was the signal
for burst of cheering and hand-clap-
ping, hat-tOsSing and dhandkerchief-waV-
ing that lasted several minutes.
IN MARKED CONTRAST
to the reception OF Mr.. Gladstone by the
peop,e assembled outside the parliament
house was that accorded to Lord Sails
bury, Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr..
Goschen. As each of these gentlemen
appeared in view storm of grOanS,
hOOtS and hiSSeS arose and increased in
volume until the object of the crowds
deteStatiOn disappeared from sight. The
: effect of this exhibition of popular dis
favor upon Mr.. GOSchen, in particular,
was Enthusiastically severe, and the
spectacle of the chancellor of the
eXchequer cringing and shrinking
before the deriSive hOWls. jeerS and
misses of a representative crowd of Eng
liShmen was extremely pitifuI. The ab-
Sence of John MOrly from his seat was
conspicuous, and was the cause of much
comment of varied character. The To
ries claim that his failure to respond to
the Liberal whip signifies his dissent
from the recent tactics OF the English
Liberals anent the National league, but
this is not the cause. The purpose of
Gladstone in moving against the gov
ernmentS proclamation is merely to
place the Liberal party
SQUARLEIY UPON RECORD
as branding the action of the ministry
as OutrageOuSly unjust and unprovoked,
and this can be done thoroughly with
out neceSSitating Mr.. Morley's shorten
ing his vacation and Fastening to Lon
don. Had Mr.. MOrley'S voice or vote
been essential to the success of Mr..
GladstOne's object, he most aSSuredly
would have been in his seat this
evening. The scene i'll the house
when Mr.. Gladstone arose to
speak was highly exciting.
lie was tremendously cheered at the
beginning of his speech and vOciferOusly
applauded at the end, and the hOWlS
and cat calls of the younger Tories sank
into inSignificance beneath the weight
of the avalanche of approving cries. Mr..
Gladstone was in splendid form. His
voice rang out with all. its accustomed
clearnesS, and the resonance and Vigor
of his gesture betokened excellent health
and intense devotion to his cause.
His utteranceS atteSted the fiXity of the
Liberal position and left nothing to be
explained as to its full difinition which,
summarized, is that the Liberal party is
unalterably opposed to the government
policy of coercion in Ireland, and
equally determined to support the
rights of the national league
The arguments of Gladstone and his
followers, as set forth in to-night'S de-
bate. were to a great extent based on
the report of Gen. Sir RedverS Butler.

GLADSToNE'S GREAT EFFORT.
LONDON. Aug. 25.-Mr. Gladstone
was greeted with cheers in the house of
commons this evening when he arose to
move his resolution. That q humble
address be presented 10 the queen. re-
presenting that the viccrOy of Ireland
has proclaimed the National league as
dangerous association; that no informa-
ton has been furnished to
parliament to Justify the pro-
clamatiOn, by virtue of Which
her majesty'S subjects are TO be rem
dered liable to be punished as GRIM
inalS, without a Judicial inquiry into
the nature of their acts, and that this
house, in the absence Of such infOrma-
ton, prays that said proclamation shall
not continue i'm force as to the aSSocia-
ton named and described therein"
Mr. Gladstone said that the Irish
.vicerOy in declaring that the league had
incited TO violence, must have acted on
information; but where was that in
forInant? The Irish chiefs had a right
TO demand the grounds oil which the
government had acted. If the facts were
withheld the opposition must forthwith
urge three propositions upon the house
and the government.
First.-That ii was slight, almost an
outrage, on the dignity of parliament TO
suppose that it was Ia discharge such
an important statutory duty without
knowing the grounds.
Second.-That it reduced Ia utter
destruction and TO an abSurdity the
main contention that the government !
advanced during the discussion of the |
crimes act. that the safe |
guard promised had proved a farce. |
He asked, what was the value or mean |
ing of parliamentary approval given |
iu ignorance of the facts? Why not fol- |
low tie course taken by Wellington and |
Peel in 1929, regarding the Catholic |
league, and suppress it?
